Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Šāfiʿī al-Bājūrī (Arabic: إبراهيم بن محمد بن أحمد الشافعي الباجوري) (1784-1860) was an Egyptian-Ottoman scholar, theologian and a dean of the al-Azhar University. A follower of Imam Al-Shafiʽi, he authored over 20 works and commentaries in sacred law, tenets of faith, Islamic estate division, scholastic theology, logic and Arabic.[3]
Early life
al-Bajuri was born in the village of El Bagour, Monufia Governorate of Egypt.[1] He was raised and educated initially by his father, studying the Qur'an and its recitation.[4] At the age of 14 al-Bajuri entered al-Azhar in order to study the traditional sciences of Islam.[4] In 1798, al-Bajuri left al-Azhar due to the invasion of the French, and went to Giza where he remained until 1801; he then returned to al-Azhar to complete his education. Here, he excelled in his studies and began to teach and write on a variety of topics.[4]
Rector of al-Azhar University
al-Bajuri taught at al-Azhar University, and in 1847 became its rector,[5] a position he held until the end of his life.[1][4] During his tenure as Shaykh al-Azhar he spent much of his time teaching. His students included both young students aspiring to scholarship and also many of the great scholars of al-Azhar.[6]
